If approved by voters, it would replace Measure H, a quarter-cent sales tax voters approved in 2017.
Los Angeles County supervisors voted Tuesday to send a measure to the November ballot that would double the county’s homelessness sales tax to a half cent to fund housing and homeless services. If approved by voters, it would replace Measure H, a quarter-cent sales tax voters approved in 2017 that was set to sunset in 2027.
Supporters said at Tuesday’s meeting they had learned from Measure H and believed this newest sales tax would stretch the dollars more effectively. It would also make the tax indefinite, repealable only by a future vote. “The crisis that we have today is not for the lack of trying,” Miguel Santana, CEO of the California Community Foundation, told the Board. “This will provide long term, systemic and accountable change.
